Agreed, but today nearly all interior and a high percentage of exterior
paint is Latex which doesn't stick to oily surfaces worth a darn.
I needed some *solvent based* two part epoxy for the shop floor as well
as the garage and shop aprons. I finally had to order it because all I
could find at the big box stores and hardware were water based, low VOC
which is neither what I wanted or needed. Of course the stuff I really
needed was full of nasty chemicals that aren't good for you and require
a fresh air supply and hood if used indoors (where no sparks or open
flames are accessible)
I finally found a local, industrial paint supplier who could get in on
24 hour notice AND at well less than half the price at the big box
stores...which still wasn't cheap.
